Problem

On LMDE 4, building in release mode fails with

 run pkg_config fail: "`\"pkg-config\" \"--libs\" \"--cflags\" \"openssl\"` did not exit successfully: exit code: 1\n--- stderr\nPackage openssl was not found in the pkg-config search path.\nPerhaps you should add the directory containing `openssl.pc\'\nto the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable\nNo package \'openssl\' found\n"

Solution

Installing libssl-dev package fixes the error. Probably adding some documentation about it would be enough.

Notes

After continuing with the build also needed to install libgtk-3-dev, libcairo2-dev
